Northeastern seaboard...
* Gorgeous change of seasons
* No real climate concerns... Sandy was the first “real” storm and probably the last to hit in my lifetime. Fires, quakes, flooding a passing thought at best
* Warmish ocean
..actually, I’m hard pressed to add to this list...? A little help?
Oh yeah... NJ is the only place in the country that doesn’t have an accent
To be factual.....northern New Mexico HAS a beautiful seasonal change in the higher altitudes. Very attractive. The climate is mild when compared to the east by far....including storms. There are also no accents unless you encounter hispanics, which are everywhere in the U.S.
I find the people of the west far more private and less intrusive/vocal than easterners. Less clannish...less gossipy.
But of course...there is no ocean.
